Project addressing East Side flooding problems completed

Almost 50 homes no longer in flood plain

SAN ANTONIO - County and city leaders celebrated the completion of the Menger Creek Project on Tuesday afternoon.

“This area used to flood significantly with the storms. There was too much water for the channel that was there, so it would flood the properties and the homes around it,” said Mike Frisbie, city engineer of Transportation and Capital Improvements. “So this project has expanded the drainage channel to keep all the stormwater in the channel and not flooding the homes.”
